I'm struggling with a decision, and I need your help. For some time, I have wanted to get a tattoo of either the word "Hope" or "Created." These are meaningful words to me personally but are also scriptural allusions--1 Peter 3:15 and Colossians 1:16, respectively. I would like to get it on the underside of my wrist. My question is this: Would getting this tattoo limit my audience as I move forward with writing and speaking or are tattoos not really a significant point of concern for people anymore? I honestly didn't think this would be a huge deal to people. After all, the newest statistics show 36% of Americans between 18 and 29 now have a tattoo, and nearly one in four Americans between 18 and 50 are tattooed. However, others have recently commented that it might marginalize me.
So, I am turning this over to you, my faithful readers. Do you think this would marginalize me with a significant number of people, and do you think I should get it?
